I have injured my baby.

Walked backwards into it and it fell over onto a poorly positioned brick. Not punctured but pretty big dent.

I don't dare try anything to get it back in case I make it worse.

Only posers and complete gaylords don't have dents in their tanks You could always say some gangster shot at you and bullet deflected off the tank

Well it's not like I am planning on selling it so it isn't a huge deal but still annoying.

Anyone know if this metal will be easy to pop out using those sucker things or lever it out from the inside? Or will it just make a hole in it?

[stinkwheel]

The metal is creased. It's there for good.

Even if you pulled it out with a slide hammer and pins, it'd still need filling.

You might be able to somewhat ding it back out with a socket extension bar and hammer applied carefully to the inside of the tank but it'll still look like a tank with a huge dent in it.

How much fuel space you lost?

[Alexio]

I have a dent in my tank that could probably be popped back out but I've never bothered come to think of it.

Don't worry, as said everybody has dents in their tanks, especially on small commuter bikes

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

As said above, all 'real me' have dents in their tank!!

Just get some black touch-up paint and you will be fine ...

Here is my carefully concealed dent!!

My tank had a chip in the gel coat after it was reversed into by a blind woman.

I didn't realise it should be kept as a badge of honour so I replaced the tank.

I feel quite gay now
